When Bill Travis is asked to travel to the insular East Texas town of Carter to do a favor for his business partner, Bill has to bail a woman out of jail for the attempted murder of a United States Senator, and a pair of Texas Rangers stars get pinned to both Bill's and his sidekick Hank's chests. The investigation goes south, however, when the local Sheriff seems to somehow be involved in a conspiracy to hide the truth. To top things off, there's a speed demon on the loose tearing up the town, Hank may very well be head-over-heels in love with the bail bondswoman, and Tanya-the woman Bill must free-along with the Sheriff's wife, Loraine, and the Senator's wife, Mildred, constitute the Trinity Trio, an unholy alliance holding all the real power in the region. It's Bill Travis with a badge, a gun, and no-holds-barred action, as well as a mystery that evaporates like smoke with every spin of the revolver's breech.
